Phillipson Pacemaker

Gentlemen, (i use that term loosely) I have a Phillipson Pacemaker that i was going to restore but now i have neither the time or ambition. I has a second tip but is missing about 2 inches from it. It is 9ft 3 piece with rod tube and case. $100

Re: Phillipson Pacemaker

I've got an 8 1/2 foot Pacemaker for a 6wt line that was made in 1952. Phillipson made affordable rods that are excellent fishing tools. What are the issues with the rod (besides the 1 short tip) that need restoring?

I could write a treatise about fly fishing collectibles.

Suffice it to say, the longer the rod, the less desirable it is.

Thats why I love boo - after years of ridicule, its nice for a change - when people hold my rod, and examine it closely - they admire it, don't want to let go of it, and wish they had a small one just like me.
